Trusted Auto Repair in Twinbrook, MD

A Rockville shop for Twinbrook drivers
Preferred Automotive is a family-owned shop at 12356 Wilkins Ave in Rockville. We've been here since 1990 and welcome Twinbrook drivers.
Along with tires and suspension, we handle oil changes, brakes, inspections and other repairs. Tell us what you drive and what needs checking.
Call with your vehicle details and tell us whether you need routine maintenance or a new problem checked before booking.
PLAN YOUR TWINBROOK SERVICETell us what the car is doing
A shake in the steering wheel, a noise over bumps or a pull to one side can be hard to describe. Start with what you've noticed. Does it happen at a certain speed? Only when you brake or turn? You don't need to know which part is causing the problem before you call.
If the problem comes and goes, note when it happens and whether the car is cold or has been running for a while. Tell us about any warning lights or recent work, too. A short description in your own words is helpful. There's no need to look up a technical name for the noise or decide which part needs replacing.
Car care that fits life in Twinbrook
Between the homes around Twinbrook Community Center, the shops along Rockville Pike and the Red Line at Twinbrook Metro, a day's travel here can involve short local trips and a commute farther out.
If you drive to the station, run errands close to home or use your car for the whole commute, tell us when you need it back. We can discuss the appointment and how much time to allow before you make plans. Our shop is at 12356 Wilkins Ave in Rockville. Call ahead to confirm the work you need and arrange your visit.
PLAN YOUR VISIT
What happens before repairs begin
We'll explain the findings and give you an estimate covering parts, labor, fees and taxes. You approve the work before we start. If anything else needs attention, we'll contact you for approval before doing additional work.
Ask us about anything that isn't clear, including which parts need replacing and what the work is intended to address. We can discuss findings and approval by phone, text or email. Leave a number where we can reach you while the car is here.
Keep your callback number handy when you book, and tell us how you prefer to receive updates.
ASK ABOUT YOUR REPAIR ESTIMATEArrange a visit
Call 301-881-8530 with your car's year, make and model, along with the work you need or the symptoms you've noticed. We'll confirm whether we can help with that repair and arrange an appointment. You can also contact the shop online.
Bring any maintenance records you'd like us to review, especially information about recent repairs related to the problem. If the visit involves diagnostic work, plan for at least an hour. Intermittent or more complicated problems can take longer, so talk with us about timing when you book.
